Nigerian defender Shehu Abdullahi has been linked with Premier League duo Liverpool and Everton.

Abdullai, 24, plays for Cypriot club Anorthosis Famagusta and a source at his agent's company has revealed growing transfer interest.

“Yes, we have offers from Spain, France, Italy and Merseyside clubs in England," 90minutesgoal.com quote a source at player agency Mitem Sports Sprl.
